My Very Best

What did I learn? Life is a lousy school Feel for the right words Like steps from the swimming pool I got in my head I wish it was easy Put on my cowboy hat Lasso the future And show you what's in the trap As small as a mouse And I could tell you Not to be quite so kind And I could tell you How love and sadness rhyme But I don't know You're born into this mess If I do my worst If I do my very best I did it all for you I'm done being reckless Making the stories that Are good for a dinner But deep down you know they're bad For everything else in your life I will go crazy I'll carry all this weight But nobody's burdened In fact, baby, you carbonate The blood in my veins And I could tell you That jesus won't come back Or I could tell you To keep the sweet faith you have But I don't know You come in all brand new If my shadow's long Don't let it fall on you Yeah, I don't know You're born into this mess If I do my worst If I do my very best I did it all for you I did it all for you I did it all for you I did it all for you
